Unbelievable...
It baffles me that there is so much turmoil and speculation regarding the execution of Saddam Hussein. Does it really matter that Saddam is a Suni and he was taunted by the Shiites before his execution? Does that change the fact that Saddam was found guilty of condemning 148 people to death? Not to mention all the other crimes he had no yet been tried for. What about the fact that under Saddams rule, people lived in constant fear. A country in which the families of political victims received their body parts in the mail! An Iraq which tens of thousands of Kurds could be murdered with chemical weapons. Why the remorse for Saddam?
I just wonder if there was remorse like this when the people of Italy drug Mussolini through the streets? Or when the world found out that Hitler had taken his own life. I don't understand why the media insists on making the US look like the bad guys for capturing Saddam and helping the Iraqi's put him on trial.

Good point Dave
I just wish we didn't have to see it on CNN, over and over again. It like it makes Larry King's nipples hard.
I'd much rather see Saddam get hung than to see Larry's nipples.
But seriously, it's a historic event and sort of the first of it's kind. I can understand why they keep showing it. But I see your point. It's like on Sept 11th, did we really need to see the towers collapse over and over?
